With a few new players, Kerry might even win a provincial title next year and get a run out in Croker before one of the top sides finishes them off in the quarters.

I just see ther that "Kerry have opted out of next month's Dr McGrath Cup as new manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice was due to be without a number of college players as well as the Dr Crokes contingent. " I think this is a bad idea, as we now are going in cold to the league, even as a last resort couldn't Darragh enter his under 21 team into the McGrath Cup and see how they are shaping up?

I don't think that's true Horse and it's possibly incorrect reporting by Hogan Stand. Sure the fixtures were already drawn up! And it's the first I've heard of it.

Being Honest C-K-H, I hope it is incorrect as I think this years divison one is seriously competetive and we cannot risk going in cold. Still it's good to see Moran back but I'd ease him back slowly.

Fairly expermential team at the weekend but this is the exact time to do it, glad to see Brian Kelly, Jonathan Lyne & Jack Sherwood getting a start, Star at 8 could be Fitz's intentions for the year but with Moran/Sheehan/Maher/Buckley he has a fair few midfielders at his disposal. It;s just a pity that other fringe players are college tied, I think once a college has been eliminated that those players should be allowed back into their county panel.

We've found one or two handy lads haven't we? :)

Ya we have, Enright is more settled, Lyne has really impressed as has Sherwood but unfortunately like Geaney injury curtailed his league after an impressive McGrath Cup. Griffin could be the find for the full back line abet more enforced but still. No extra forward has stepped up to the plate, Curtin, O'Donoghue, Geaney all huffed and puffed but injuries at key stages killed their progress, of the three I still rate Curtin the most for his ball winning capabilities and fast hand and unselfish play. We have cover now for all areas of the field with eth exception of Keeper. I'm amazed that Fitz did not cast the net here, ok Keely has improved under the high ball but 2 bad kicks last Sunday could have been costly. Kelly got one game against Limerick in McGrath Cup he should have been given the Down game. Other Keepers like the Cordal lad should have been given McGrath cup time too. Find of the league has to be Buckley. Was impressive in all McGrath Cup games and followed up with consistent good play and a scoring treat from Midfield, He's a box to box mid fielder can be seen tackling back and then taking scores. Def find of the year for us and gives us options for midfield or wing forward.

Killian Young too looks to have re-found some form which is a big bonus for us, It's just a pity Moran saw no game time.

Yea I'm amazed that we didn't try another keeper. Worried about Bryan Sheehan now. His effort for the free Sunday was poor in my opinion, he can't seem to rise the ball anymore.

I wouldnt worry too much about Sheehan. He was kicking into a strong brezze for that free anyway. He does need to work on his fitness though.
